Due to the effects of rapidly developing low pressure systems and fronts, heavy rainfall is locally occurring on the Pacific side, and snow and rain are expected to increase on the Pacific side of the Tohoku region, which was damaged by the earthquake, and storms are also expected. ..
The Japan Meteorological Agency warns against blizzards in northern Japan and calls for careful attention to avalanches and landslides in areas with strong tremors.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a low pressure system with a front is located near Shikoku, causing developed rain clouds on the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan.
In the hour until 5 pm on the 18th, it
rained
31 mm at Shionomisaki, Wakayama Prefecture, and 30.5 mm at Tsubota on Miyakejima in the Izu Islands.
Heavy rains will fall in the Tokai, southern Kanto, and Izu Islands from now on until dawn on the 19th, and there is a risk of extremely heavy rains of 50 mm or more per hour locally, such as in the Tokai region.
Pay close attention to river floods and sediment-related disasters, as well as strong winds, high waves, lightning strikes, tornadoes, and other severe gusts.
In addition, it is snowing and raining on the Pacific side of Tohoku, which was damaged by the earthquake on the night of the 16th.
The low pressure system develops rapidly and reaches off Sanriku, so the wind becomes stronger, and it is expected to become a storm from dawn on the 19th.
The maximum wind speed expected on the 19th is
23 meters at sea and 14 meters on land on the Pacific side of Tohoku, and the
maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 35 meters at sea and 25 meters on land.
The waves are high on the sea and it is expected to be squeezed.
In addition to heavy rain, especially in the coastal areas, there is a risk of heavy snowfall over a wide area such as inland.
The amount of snow that falls in the 24 hours until the evening of 19th
is expected to be 50 cm along the mountains on the Pacific side of the Tohoku region and 40 cm on the flat land, where there is a lot of snow.
In Hokkaido, it is expected that it will continue to snow until Sunday and it will be heavy snow.
The Japan Meteorological Agency warns against blizzards in northern Japan and calls for careful attention to avalanches and falling snow from roofs.
Since the ground is loose in areas that have been hit by strong shaking, we are calling for careful attention to sediment-related disasters.
Some people may be involved in the restoration work, but please check the surrounding conditions carefully and keep away from dangerous places.
The wind will gradually increase.
Be careful of things that are blown away by the wind, do not overdo work that seems difficult on your own, and consider cleaning up and interrupting restoration work.
